Mulitiplicando - Paperback

In this exciting 'teaching story' the jester, Multiplicando, leads Raymond and Rosemary on an adventure into the world of multiplication and related mathematical processes.

Even if Multiplicando weren’t teaching, it would still be a great children’s story, with warm and funny characters, interesting adventures and one surprising discovery after another on each page. The fact that this riveting story also teaches multiplication and its relationship to the other 3 mathematical processes, and teaches all this so clearly and thoroughly, makes Multiplicando a gift for the ages.

Multiplicado is a teaching story, an introduction to multiplication and its relation to other mathematical processes. It covers a key piece of the math curriculum, but moreover, connects and integrates children's physical, imaginative and feeling capacities with their learning experience, preparing the ground for subsequent successful and enjoyable math learning.

Divided into twenty-two chapters, Multiplicando, follows the humorous adventures of (who else?) Multiplicando, Jester to the Court of King Divide and His Queen, Her Highness Minus. Using these stories over several weeks, teachers and parents can lead their students into the mysteries of multiplication, and come to see its relation to division, subtraction, and addition. Students will come away with a story they will remember well enough to look back upon as adults, and with a clear understanding of multiplication and the nature of all 4 processes.

Additionally, at the back of the book the author has shared all sorts of teaching tips and tricks, so many that its a bit like finding the King’s treasure house. -Nancy Parsons of Bob and Nancy’s Services www.waldorfbooks.com
